Also on Tuesday, O'Mara filed two new motions including a continuance, saying he needs more time to prepare for the trial.

O'Mara also filed a motion waiving Zimmerman's right to a speedy trial within 185 days of his arrest.

Chief Judge O.H. Eaton said it is not uncommon for 70- to 80-percent of cases to be delayed at least one time.

"In Seminole County the case gets set for trial eight to 11 weeks after arraignment," said Eaton. "That's not enough time to take depositions for a case this complex. To schedule depositions, getting a delay and waiver of speedy trial is not unusual."

Court administrators said Zimmerman's next appearance in court will not be until Aug. 8.

On that day, a preliminary trial date is expected to be announced.
